Welcome!

My name is Mr. Baur and I am a general music and chorus teacher in the Islip School District. I created this site in the hopes that you can find information about all of the classes I teach, ensembles I conduct and programs I am involved in here in Islip along with information about music in general.

If you have any questions that aren't answered here, please use the button below to email me.

Please be sure to visit all of the different pages by clicking on the buttons above!

Wow! Congratulations to the CRES Chorus, CRES TrebleMakers and CRES Orchestras on a fantastic Winter Concert! I was so impressed with all of the hard work that you put into your music and I hope you are proud of the performance you gave!
